FRIENDSHIP .
to me . i perceived friendship as connection between people .something that was there . regardless the judgements of others. g0od orr bad .we didnt have to spend ALL the time in the world .but at least .i knew where i st0od with you .i knew that i was important to youu . vice versa .friendship was when .you MEANT what youu saidd & did.andd it was sincere .no lies. every bit of it .we never had to SAY we were friends .ourr actions confirmed everything we needed to know .friends didnt have to come in numbers .it didnt matter to me .oh well . lots of issues on friendships recently .everyone perceives friendship in a different way .at mac today .jiamin andd shuni toldd me about backstabbing issues .for once . i was SPEECHLESS .well . we cant stop people from backstabbing us .BUT . by not doingg it as well . you're onee step closerr yea .andd . its how youu interprete the 'stabbing' actually .youu could take it the 2 ways .- as an insult . andd be in constant dispute until you're BOTH sick ot it .but . does that solve anything ?the person backstabbed you . SO ? take it as a wake up call instead .the person must have had SOME reason forr doing so .findd out why . understand the other side of the story .andd if youu insist that its just the person's personality .then think .do youu WANT a friend like that ?arent youu glad that youu learnt the truth .even if it WAS the hardd way .findd friends who accept youu for the REAL you .even if it means giving up the ones who are FAKE .of all the people we meet .only a few would follow us through . or maybe just one .but isnt that enough ?so think yea .who are going to be the ones ?DO TO OTHERS . WHAT YOU WOULD WANT DONE UNTO YOURSELF .youu want them to trust you .be the one who TRUSTS them first .want them not to backstabb you .be the one who DOESNT first .want them not to lie to you .DONT LIE to them .want to have a true friend.BE a true friend to someone first .friendship is a TWO-WAY thing .it takes two to make it work .
